Hi Niko, I had the blasting done via Al at Das Resto Haus, he does a lot of work for Al and knows how fragile our busses can be, afraid i don't now what type of medium was used other than i have lots of it falling out everywhere

Yours is looking great and progress is flying along, wish you could make me a rotisserie

Cheers,
Mark.

No worries, Looks like they have used glass beads, if you have a welder its not hard I could send you the dimensions.

Big day today, just picked up a Rotisserie at last ! It was built to flip a complete 1941 Ford coupe complete with engine etc so to say it is heavy is an understatement.

Anyone recommend a Brisbane firm to make arms for it to hold a Split ?

At last a bit of an update on my bus. After a long wait my Gerson panels arrived from http://dasrestoparts.com.au/ and the wait began for Al & the team at Das Resto Haus to have a slot so I could book mine in for more work. Thankfully the QLD posse went to America en masse so some bus resto's where put on hold and a gap opened for me. I dropped mine off at the shop a couple of weeks ago and the place was rammed with Splitties !

Anyhoo Brad & Baz have been working on it rebuilding my front end .......

Measurements taken so it all goes back together square ...

And now it goes back together ...

Still more work being done getting the shut lines on the doors and a new front & Doglegs

FARK!!! That's a big job you've taken on there. But it's looking great. Well done!!!

Wow, that is a MASSIVE job!

But once it's done it doesn't need to be done again.
Looking forward to seeing this one progress.

always freak out when you see the front end come off like that! Great work going on there

Hey Dibsy, Brad here. It's going back together rather well. Some of the panels need a few tweaks but Baz and I will sort it out.

It was a bit daunting one the front was cut free but all went back together rather well.
